Chapter 584 - The days of fleeing
Translator: Aran
Ten days later.
In the winding and curving boundless Greater One mountains.
Under a hidden cliff, a breeze rippled a crystal clear lake and the fish in the water swam leisurely by moving its tail back and forth.
The lake was surrounded by ancient trees and the faint sun was seen setting from between the gaps of the trees, casting stripes of light onto the ground.
The cries of birds and beasts occasionally sounded in the forest, it was quiet and peaceful.
Thump!
A snow-white little dog jumped into the lake, chasing after a red carp in the water and breaking the silence of the lake.
“Woof! Where are you running to! Quickly come into Woof's mouth, hey, you can't run away!”
The snow-white dog that was speaking human language was the silly dog Little Nine who had escaped from the Greater One Sect with Ye Qingyu and the others.
At this time he had restored to his former mini body, and was pocket-sized and very adorable.
Not far from the lakeside, under the blotchy tree shadows, Ye Qingyu, Yu Xiaoxing and Old Fish were sat quietly, an exhausted look on their faces, especially Ye Qingyu, who had been wounded.
Yu Xiaoxing had changed into clean clothes and there was a faint smile on her delicate and beautiful face. She no longer had the miserable look as she did ten days ago when she was imprisoned in the Greater One Divine Lantern.
“Cousin, the people who just came to kill us are more powerful than those of the last few days,” Yu Xiaoxing stated.
Beside her, Ye Qingyu’s brows were tinged with exhaustion as he said in response, “Yes, there are more and more masters, and there are constantly people chasing after us. Every time we shake them off, we can hide only for a few hours every time. If it was not for the old man's hiding technique, we most likely would not have a minute of rest.”
“Yes, but as long as I am with cousin, there is nothing Xing’er is afraid of,” the girl said with a grin.
Ye Qingyu kept silent.
Ever since she had confessed her feelings in Heaven Wasteland Domain, this girl had been absolutely unrestrained.
Yu Xiaoxing pulled a face and then turned to Old Fish, “Right, I still have to thank Elder for helping me undo the seal. The Greater One Spiritual Master had sealed my five senses, if it was not for Elder, I don't know when I could remove the seal. We have been constantly avoiding people these days and I have not had an opportunity to thank Elder properly. I hope Elder does not mind.”
As she was speaking, she smiled and bowed to Old Fish.
“Haha, I don't mind, I don't mind.” Old Fish gave a wretched smile, his eyes narrowed to slits.
He was particularly fond of the weird little girl Xing’er.
“By the way, Xing’er, how's your injury? Do you feel better?” Ye Qingyu asked in a concerned voice.
“I am all right, the people of Greater One Sect were cautious in doing anything to me, and dared not torture me. My injuries are basically healed, there's nothing serious to be worried about.” Yu Xiaoxing laughed, picking up a stone to throw at silly dog Little Nine who was playing in the lake.
“Woof! Who is it, who dares throw a stone a Woof!”
Happily playing in the water, silly dog Little Nine immediately barked loudly when he was suddenly hit by a stone.
But when he turned to the lake and saw Yu Xiaoxing sticking her tongue out, his anger dissipated.
This girl was simply his bitter bamboo, sometimes Little Nine even dares to bully his master Ye Qingyu but when he faced this female creature, he felt like a scholar that can never win an argument with a military man.
Swiftly swimming to the shore, the silly dog cheerfully shook off the water droplets on his snow-white fur, and then scuttled onto Ye Qingyu's lap.
“Woof! The crown prince girl is bullying Woof, Woof has suffered a huge trauma!” The snow-white dog clasped his head and threw a mini tantrum.
Ye Qingyu's clothes were suddenly stained with water.
“You, speak properly... Hey, hey, hey? What are you doing? Don't think of trying to steal something from me again, no way!” Ye Qingyu mercilessly lifted Little Nine by the scruff of his neck, pulling him away from him.
Lifted into the air, silly dog Little Nine flapped about his four little short legs, and since his plan had been seen through by Ye Qingyu, he had no choice but to act dumb and shameless. “Woof, I’m not! Put Woof down.”
Yu Xiaoxing, upon seeing this, giggled covering her mouth, her eyes curved into crescent moon shapes.
Ye Qingyu was amused by the rascal-like dog. He smiled and put him on his lap to scratch his head.
Little Nine seemed to really enjoy Ye Qingyu rubbing his head, lifted his head for Ye Qingyu to scratch his neck, and then finally climbed onto Ye Qingyu’s shoulder, yawned, and dozed off.
After joking around, Ye Qingyu no longer asked about Yu Xiaoxing's injuries.
Because it was obvious that this girl was deliberately avoiding the topic.
Even if she did not say anything about it, Ye Qingyu knew that her injuries were absolutely not as simple as she had told him. In order to obtain the space-time coordinates of Heaven Wasteland Domain, the Greater One Sect would resort to all crimes, and would use all sorts of secret techniques on this girl, and perhaps had even left Dao injuries on her. Although Old Fish had helped her remove the five sense seal, and Ye Qingyu had used Divine-level origin liquid to restore her cultivation, but for her to fully recover would most likely take a long time.
What's more, the three people were currently like stray dogs, almost chased after by the entire Clear River Domain. There was no time to cultivate or treat injuries.
Ye Qingyu did not waste any time to heal his injury.
In these ten days of being chased, even if Ye Qingyu’s physical body was exceptionally strong, it was still difficult for him to cope.
After a quarter of an hour, the tired expression on his face gradually faded.
Standing up to move his muscles, Ye Qingyu turned his head to look at Old Fish.
At this time Old Fish was sat quietly with his eyes closed, exercising his breathing.
Ten days ago, silly dog Little Nine led him and Yu Xiaoxing to break through the thousands of barriers of the Greater One Sect. Old Fish had suddenly come to find them on his own initiative, and the three people and one dog fled all the way to here.
Along the way they had encountered many pursuers, and often had to fight back with all their strength to get rid of them. Old Fish would use his powerful consciousness force to form a stealth formation that could keep their bodies and all their aura concealed.
Yet every time, before they hid themselves for long, they would encounter other pursuers.
It was because there were far too many pursuers that wanted to catch Ye Qingyu and Yu Xiaoxing in order to obtain the coordinates of Heaven Wasteland Domain.
In these days of almost endless fighting, as the only main strength of the three people, Ye Qingyu was riddled with scars. His clothes were ragged, and he did not even have the time to change into clean clothes.
Silly dog Little Nine had also consumed a lot of energy from fleeing, and after every escape he must have a huge meal and then bury his head and sleep.
After Yu Xiaoxing was rescued by Ye Qingyu, Old Fish had helped her undo the seal placed on her. But the people of the Greater One Sect must have left a lot of internal injuries on her. She had been running all this time and did not have enough time to heal. Although her injuries did not look serious on the outside, but only she knew that if she continued to delay treating these internal injuries, it would become a serious trouble in the future.
Although Old Fish possessed quasi emperor consciousness power, but he also could not withstand such a long period of consumption of strength, and looked a bit drained.
At this moment, they had just gotten rid of the pursuers and finally had the opportunity to enjoy a moment of peace.
During these days of being constantly on the move, Old Fish had been unusually silent, seemingly preoccupied by some trouble.
Ye Qingyu noticed it but did not question further.
That day when Old Fish’s real form was exposed under the Clear Sky mirror, the Dao injuries that covered his entire body also made Ye Qingyu fearful of him. Recalling the origin of the Dao injuries that Old Fish had told him before, Ye Qingyu began to develop more respect for the old fool.
Ye Qingyu had obtained specks of news from some of his defeated pursuers.
For the past 10 days, the entire Greater One Sect had been in a state of war. The entire Clear River Domain had turned frantic, like a small flame was thrown into a pot of hot oil, erupting in flames, with the Greater One Sect as the center. Chaos rapidly spread to the entire Clear River Domain, and flames of war started everywhere.
However, the ones he caught were all unimportant characters and he didn't get enough information.
Having been fleeing across the Greater One mountains for ten days, they were in the dark about the current outside situation.
Ye Qingyu also had no time to think of other things, now he could only take advantage of the fact that he had not been found to resume his optimum state in preparation for the next round of flighting.
The sky was getting dark.
They had been resting on the lakeside for a while, and in order to avoid being discovered, Ye Qingyu decided to change hiding place.
At this time, something happened.
In the distant void came a very secretive movement of yuan qi fluctuation.
Old Fish’s closed eyes suddenly shot open, and the aura around him suddenly changed greatly.
Almost at the same time, Ye Qingyu looked as alarmed as a frightened beast, staring closely at the depths of the forest, keeping a sharp lookout.
The identity of him and Yu Xiaoxing was special. Various forces of Clear River Domain had been chasing after them for ten days straight, and if it was not for Old Fish’s stealth technique, even if their escape ability was much stronger, they most likely would not have been able to repeatedly escape. Several times, they were nearly caught, but the good coordination amongst them allowed them to successfully escape.
He and Yu Xiaoxing had become the most precious treasures of Clear River Domain, all forces were determined to get their hands on them!
“Someone's coming so soon?” Ye Qingyu pondered, exchanging a glance with Old Fish.
Old Fish slightly knitted his brows in a frown, as though he had sensed something but was not quite certain yet.
Yu Xiaoxing's beautiful, big eyes grew serious.
Silly dog Little Nine gritted his teeth, silently hissing, leaped down from Ye Qingyu's shoulder, and restored himself to a two-person-high body size.
Ye Qingyu stood on guard against the fluctuation of yuan qi within the depths of the forest, and the other party seemed to be trying to conceal their traces. The exposed yuan qi was almost nonexistent, but Ye Qingyu could evidently sense that the other side was rapidly moving closer in their direction!
Ye Qingyu secretly passed a message to Yu Xiaoxing and Old Fish to immediately flee!
The three people jumped on the back of Little Nine, as Little Nine transformed into a stream of white light and darted to the eastern direction.
The next moment.
A dark golden beam of flowing light appeared in the position where Ye Qingyu and the others were just now.
Without pausing, the dark golden light had determined the direction where Ye Qingyu and other people had fled and continued to chase.
While being chased, Ye Qingyu was able to perceive that the speed of the other party was much faster than he had imagined; his heart tightened.
Ye Qingyu knew that this time he could not simply rely on speed to escape; the other party was too strong.
Then let's fight.
Burning with rage, his arms had already changed into dragon form, ready to battle to stall for time to allow Yu Xiaoxing to leave first.
But at this moment, Old Fish suddenly discovered something, the grave expression on his face disappeared, pressing on Ye Qingyu's arm, he smiled and shook his head, then said, “No need to run, you can stop.”
